Sophie’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I need to work out what my next read is.

Likely to be slow as I'm camping with family for a couple of days

Mistletoe at Moonglow looks to me like it has red and blue on the cover so could count for the last 2 on Manmon Duck.

I read Lymond about 20 years ago. When I eventually finish Niccoló, I think it'll be time to go back for a reread.

Lucky you!

Do we get Cat to spin the wheel again soon?

I'm slowly slowly working my way through the Niccolo series. It's so dense with facts!

Just a question of which of us claims it!

Which teams are you in? I landed up in Alf and while there are familiar names, there's no one I've really chatted to before.

Yay for Mel joining us!

I've been doing a St Mary's reread for comfort as well as working through the time police series.

I keep forgetting that I'm looking for page counts and lists - turfs are just going to have to deal with what they get.

Music mpg and instrument on cover are now covered by one of my next reads.

It's the first in a series and no idea about the funeral, but I'll take what I can get.

Manman Duck has come to play

100 to 175/Red and blue on cover/MPG Romance/Title starts with a letter in FLOOD/Only one eye on cover

Shouldn't be too bad (at least it's not Cerberus)

Yay haven't ventured into this challenge yet (other than TT) but this will be a good reintroduction.

The reviews mention a nonsensical/nonexistent plot and a dubious attitude to consent. At least he hasn't changed his writing style!

Would you like some company?

To enter your maze go to https://maze.meic.dev/ and press create an account in the top right corner. The access code is NBRC2023.

Once you have done this, there will be a blue button in the centre to create a maze. Pick your maze size (10x10 is standard and has been well tested) and difficulty (description above).

Any problems please either post here or message the Mod account (or Sophie directly)



If you already have an account, the button should still be there to create a new one/have multiple on the go at once

Was one of the good things about src when I used to have time to do it properly (double-checking all the requirements was never my strong suit though)

Right. Drinking and reading NBRC chats. I should know better.

Sorry

Kindles spoil that fun. Can never tell who might be reading Dino Island.

Well done everyone! It's been a lot of fun playing with you all and reading my socks off (45 rather than 27).

I had lots of fun modding this one. And yes, the mods had more fun than is reasonable with chipmunk set up!

Melindam wrote: "Me too. I have opted for listening to music instead. :)"

Music is a fab thing to get reacquainted with! Enjoy and think about all the lovely instruments involved.

We've got an hour to finish up books and mark them as read!

Then Gem, Alison and I have 24 hours to play captain Tetris and shuffle things into wheels from the spell outs to get more points where we can.
